Anyone use it on under the hood components - valve cover, engine block, accessories. I've seen some custom offroad vehicles with same nice color coatings.
Any pics of Cerakote being used for FJ40s? (1 Viewer)

You can apply the air cure high heat version to headers and exhaust! 1,800 F rated!!!! Cerakote has some cool pics on their site of various engine parts (blocks, heads, covers, exhaust, fI, carbs, etc that have been cerakote.

That is C - series .Good question. Here a color chart they sent me. Short answer is, I don’t know. I needed a quick turnaround so I just selected a color close to what I wanted. “Titanium Silver.”Cerakote Coatings & Cerakote Swatch Samples | Shop All Products

This is a 68 F engine manifold assembly. The exhaust was cold Ceracoated and the Aluminum intake bead blasted. This picture was taken in 2017. After 6 years and 10,00 miles, still holding, with just a small spot of rust on #6 exhaust port.
I also had a set of tube headers Ceracoated for a VW at about the same time. And for whatever reason had flaking after the first couple of thermal cycling, which I chalked up to higher thermal expansion rates compared to cast Iron….however with that said, after the initial flaking, tube headers stayed black and no rust. So something is still sticking!
Personally, I think it’s money well spent!
